{OOC: My first RP, tell me if its good or bad and please constructive critism. This is kind of closed, unless you wish to roleplay an ambassador to my country to give your support to a certain family.}
So peaceful, yet so dull. Field Marshall Dan looked over the body of Kaiser William Micheal XV. For many years Dan had served the Kaiser without question, and it was only with the help of the Kaiser did he go from a lowly recruit to a Field Marshall whos power is nearly unmatched in the military. In a certain way, Dan had always expected to see the Kaiser's death has some what more exciting, in a certain sense he expected the Kaiser would glow golden has his soul ascended into Heaven. Yet, here his body lay, a corpse simply waiting to be buried. It almost brought years to his eyes, the Kaiser was such a noble and wise ruler, the last of what many believed to be the "Kaisers of the Golden Age", his death would mark the beginning of a new and perhaps dangerious future for Jaksonia. Dan knew all to well whom contended for the crown, there were four of them each of them were the powerful families of Jaksonia. That thought alone reminded him of how hard the former Kaiser worked to bring an end to the family feuds that existed in Jaksonia, it has costed the Kaiser dearly. He lost his son to an assassin, had lost all his personal wealth to bribes and blackmail, and lost his health to poisoning. Dan realized his fist was shaking, he'd served the Kaiser well but did not in the least lessen the Kaiser's suffering. Dan had remebered the Kaiser's last request, to keep the Jakson Family in power, to ensure Jaskonia continued.
However, the Jakson Family had no legal claim to the throne since the death of William James, the son of the former Kaiser. Though, the Jakson Family quickly brought forth a new succesor whom they promoted to the throne, Christopher Bradley, a young man in his twenties, but very cunning for his age. Dan had not offically given his support to Christopher Bradley, but had nonethless showed he would. He knelted down besides the Kaiser's bed and bowed his head in thanks for the Kaiser's help in securing the future of Jaksonia. Its always the great leaders that die painfully, thought Dan. He rose up to his feet, and realized he was crying, weeping for the dead Kaiser. He quickly composed himself, and began to make his way out of the room, upon opening the door there stood a few members of the Jakson family, along with a group waiting to get the former Kaiser's body.
"I am finished," said Dan, finally getting his emotions fully under control. The members of the Jakson Family were: Christopher Bradley, his mother Marcie, and his brother Quincy Sterling. Marcie was a cold woman, but acted as though she was a saint of kindness, Quincy Sterling was no different. Christopher Bradley, however, acted and was kind, to a certain extent. It was he, and the former Kaiser, who kept Dan on the side of the Jakson Family.
"Greetings, Field Marshall," stated Christopher Bradley, giving a slight bow to the Field Marshall. His brother and mother gave him a disgusted look, no member of the Jakson Family bowed to anyone, except Christopher Bradley. While Dan thought it alright for a Jakson Family members to bow to him or anyone, the politics in his acceptance would have him executed.
"Sir, you should not bow to me, but I to you," stated Dan. Christopher Bradley caught the tone in Dan's voice, and smirked as he stood straight up and looked at the Field Marshall.
"Field Marshall, I am here to deliver you an invitation to dinner tonight, at the Jakson Family Keep, I believed it proper to deliver it to you personally," stated Christopher Bradley as he pulled out a paper from his pocket. He handed it to Dan, and it was as he said an offical invitation to dinner, as was required to get past the Keep's Guards.
"Thank you, sir, it would be an honor to attend," stated Dan. Christopher Bradley nodded and the three began to walk away. Dan nodded for the group to get the Kaiser's body to go ahead and go in. He himself made his way back to his quarters to prepare for the dinner at the Jakson Keep, he knew all to well what they wanted; his military support should this crisis reach that point.
